Project Management
Critical Path Method
The critical path method, or CPM, was developed by DuPont, to analyse the process of shutting down plants for maintenance, then restarting them at the end of the maintenance cycle. The process involved in this was so complicated, that the critical path method had to be developed to identify and prioritise the vital activities. Similar to a Gantt chart, the CPM provides a graphical representation of the project, and the times expected to complete each activity. However, the CPM does not fix the start and end times of each activity; rather it is used to determine the activities which fall on the critical path. The critical path is the path where all activities directly follow each other, and hence there is no idle time. As such, the length of the critical path determines the total time taken for the project.
The main difference between CPM and the Gantt chart is that CPM displays the activities as single nodes, with the dependencies as lines connecting the nodes. As such, the CPM shows all the paths and dependencies which will be followed throughout the project. This allows project managers to determine which paths will have some idle time, and which will be critical to the final project completion time, thus enabling project managers to prioritise resources to the critical path.
Steps in the CPM
1. Identify the individual tasks required
2. Identify any dependencies, and hence the sequences of tasks
3. Draw a network diagram to represent these tasks.
4. Obtain estimates of the time each task will take
5. Identify which path is the critical path: usually the path with the longest duration
6. Keep the network diagram and critical path up to date throughout the project

Identifying the individual tasks is generally done from the work breakdown structure. This enables a list of all tasks to be constructed. This list can also be used to determine which activities are dependent on others. The network diagram is constructed starting with the activities which have no dependencies. From these activities, lines can be drawn to indicate the activities which depend on them, and then the next stage of activities and so on, until the final activities are known. The time each task is likely to take can be estimated from previous projects, extrapolated from the technical requirements of the task, or simply estimated by an subject matter expert. The time estimates do not include any potential uncertainty or delays, and hence will generally consist of conservative estimates.
Once the network has been completed, the critical path can be determined. This path is the one with the longest total duration of all activities. As this path has the longest duration, it will correspond to the length of the project, and any delays to the critical path will hence delay the project. The critical path is determined by finding the earliest start time, earliest finish time, latest start time and latest finish time for all activities, based on the requirements of other activities. For example, the first activity in the project will have earliest and latest start times of 0, and the earliest and latest start times will be the duration of the project. The earliest start and finish times for other tasks will then depend on the speed at which all the preceding activities can be completed. This can be used to find the earliest start and finish time for all tasks in the project. The latest start and finish times can then be identified from the latest time that tasks would have to start and finish to avoid delaying the task in front of them. Most tasks will have some difference between their earliest and latest times, as tasks ahead of them will depend on other tasks that finish later. However, there will be one path through the network where the earliest and latest times are all the same. This is the critical path.
However, it is important to note that the CPM does not allow any uncertainty in duration of the tasks, or in the project completion time. Whilst this makes the analysis and path analysis simpler, it does not reflect real life, where tasks may be delayed, or may be completed ahead of schedule. This uncertainty limits the extent to which CPM is useful in the real world.

Article published Mar 7, 2013 SYFS gala marks 'Thirty Years of Caring'SHREWSBURY Shrewsbury Youth and Family Services celebrated "Thirty Years of Caring" at its ninth annual Gala on Feb. 23 at St. John's High School. The event, postponed from Feb. 9 due to Nemo, drew more than 250 hearty New Englanders who braved yet another snowstorm for an evening of socializing with friends and neighbors, enjoying delicious food and celebrating a cause that benefits so many in Shrewsbury. Dignitaries in attendance included State Rep. Matt Beaton; Superintendent of Public Schools Joseph Sawyer; Shrewsbury Board of Selectmen members Jim Kane, John Lebeaux and Moe Depalo; Shrewsbury School Committee members Erin Canzano, Sandy Fryc, Dale Magee, John Samia and Jason Palitsch; and Town Moderator Chris Mehne. Gala chairman Michael Gregory has been a longtime SYFS board member and a friend of Robert Jacques, this year's Harry S. Cutting Jr. Award recipient. According to Mr. Gregory, "The organization was founded in 1983 and as SYFS celebrated thirty years of community service, it was fitting to honor one of its own." Mr. Jacques was a member of the inaugural board of directors and an incorporator of the organization. SYFS came full circle in recognizing Mr. Jacques as SYFS marks this milestone. SYFS also paid tribute to this year's Outstanding Youth of Shrewsbury Award recipients: Nick Silverio, Grade 12, Shrewsbury High School; Kristen Grip, Grade 11, Shrewsbury High School; Aaron Hayden, Grade 12, St. John's High School and Jennifer Tylock, Grade 12, Shrewsbury High School. Former SYFS Executive Director Jeff Chin was in attendance and was honored for his service to the organization. Mr. Chin has moved on to lead Big Brothers/Big Sisters Central Mass/Metrowest. SYFS board member Thomas Kennedy is serving as interim executive director. Mr. Gregory and the Gala Committee (Liz Clemenzi, Karen Donovan Bean, Jeff Green, Maureen Harrington, Thomas Kennedy, Kathleen Keohane, Amy Kotsopoulos, David Long, Joyce O'Connor Davidson, Jason Palitsch, Ron Peeples Ph.D., Melanie Petrucci, Cathy Sampson and Cathy Sooy) wish to thank all of the local businesses and organizations who partnered with them to produce this celebration either through a sponsorship or a donation for auction items. They would like to acknowledge Presenting Sponsors Wheelabrator Technologies Inc. and Paul Mitchell-Hair Lines; Gold Sponsors Wagner Family of Auto Stores and Webster Five Cents Savings Bank Foundation; Outstanding Youth Awards Sponsor Central One Federal Credit Union; Media Sponsor the Community Advocate; and Sachs Jewelers for providing a three-tiered diamond journey pendant for the Dazzling Diamond Drawing.

Emptying MyBook
Posted By Randal On June 17, 2014 @ 10:58 AM In Computer Terms,File & Disk Management,Hardware & Peripherals,I've Always Wanted To Know...,System Tune-Up Help,Uncategorized | No Comments
Gene Hunter from Texas writes "I have a MY BOOK, 485GB that is full. How can I empty it and still keep it SAVED so I won't lose it if my computer crashes? Can I refill it again?"
Hi, Gene. Thanks for the great question!
I'm not sure that I understand the first part of your question, but let me take a stab at it. Are you asking how you can keep the CONTENT of the disc saved so that you won't lose it? The answer to that question is that you'll need to save that information somewhere else. On your hard drive, on CD's or DVD's or on another portable hard drive. I think that dual back-up is a good idea anyway, keeping one on hand and one off-site so that if something happens to one, or happens to your house, then you'll always have that back-up available.
As far as emptying the drive goes, yes you can reuse it once it's empty. The best way to empty the drive is to simply reformat it. In order to do that, click your START menu, then on COMPUTER.
Next, find the correct drive on your computer system. In this case, it is designated as G.
Right-click on the drive, and then click FORMAT.
This will open your format options screen, which looks like this:
The QUICK FORMAT option is checked by default, and is usually the way to go because of speed. If you want, you can uncheck the box and do a full format, but frankly this could take hours and is usually unnecessary. The quick format option is much, MUCH quicker (like seconds instead of hours) and will do the job. The only reason that you would want to uncheck the box and do a full format is if you are not sure of the condition of the drive. A full format not only erases the data and makes the disc like new, it also runs CHKSDK, which can be a very time-consuming process. This might be a good idea if you have ever received errors on the disc, but otherwise just stick with quick.
Once your disc is formatted, you're ready to start filling it up again.
I hope that this helps!

Ecological communities change over time and space, and ecologists have long suggested that biodiversity might influence the rate of change. Here we cast new light on this question by demonstrating statistical covariation between species richness and the variability of species abundances and identities within a community (compositional variability). We provide a new analytical framework for several previously published measures of ecosystem functioning and compositional variability. We derive three related variances, each of which measures compositional variability due solely to stochastic sampling processes. Our analyses show that whether relations between species richness and compositional variability are positive, negative or zero, depends on two factors. Not only does the particular variance used affect the relation, but, more importantly, the underlying determinants of species richness can strongly affect the stochastic relations between species richness and compositional variability. This analysis makes clear for the first time how species richness should correlate with important measures of community variability, even in the absence of systematic processes.

And this shot reveals the black and white oak frontage and the lead windows that were uncovered, after so many years, in the 1930s I think. -

In SQL Server 2005 and earlier, it is not possible to pass a table variable as a parameter to a stored procedure. When multiple rows of data to SQL Server need to send multiple rows of data to SQL Server, developers either had to send one row at a time or come up with other workarounds to meet requirements. While a VB.Net developer recently informed me that there is a SQLBulkCopy object available in .Net to send multiple rows of data to SQL Server at once, the data still can not be passed to a stored proc.
Possibly the most anticipated T-SQL feature of SQL Server 2008 is the new Table-Valued Parameters. This is the ability to easily pass a table to a stored procedure from T-SQL code or from an application as a parameter.

Nick Langewis The Democratic National Convention Committee needs to send a positive message to Catholics by pulling a gay blog's credentials, the leader of a Catholic group charged. News and entertainment blog Towleroad, along with feminist blog Bitch Ph.D., have been condemned by Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League. "Towleroad describes itself as 'A Site with Homosexual Tendencies,'" Donohue wrote. "Accordingly, it shows men in jock straps and underwear. It also has a post on Pope Benedict XVI that takes him to task for wearing a cape with ermine. Some of those who commented on this described the pope in a vile and profane way." "Both of these blogs should be cut immediately from the list of credentialed sites," Donohue said. "Neither functions as a responsible media outlet and both offend Catholics, as well as others. To allow them access to the Democratic National Convention sends a message to Catholics they will not forget. We look for Leah Daughtry, CEO of the Convention, to nix them ASAP." "If Donohue is so focused on sex," Towleroad's Andy Towle responded on Monday, "his time would be better focused on healing the epidemic of sexual abuse against children by clergy in the Catholic church, and considering the facts on the use of condoms, which the Church has said have no effect on the prevention of AIDS, rather than attempting to influence American politics by limiting the Democratic ideals of free speech, inclusion and tolerance."

Probably not. Sadly, all of the TNG movies were subpar and had glaring holes in them. The producers should have just made a Season 8 and concluded the series with a 3- or 4-part finale, instead of those crappy movies.
well I liked both Generations and FC, but even if I had been disappointed in both, I think a TNG season 8 would have been a very bad idea. TNG was clearly running out of gas by the end of the show run. Folks tend to forget this because of the well-received AGT, but season 7 was one of the worst of the entire series.
Marina Sirtis has said recently that TNG's 7th season was a victim of the POTB cutting it's budget and forwarding it to DS9. We the audience could also come to this conclusion. Along with the budget many TNG writers and idea men also jumped ship for DS9. I find it funny that with all that the first 2 seasons of DS9 are terrible and boring, despite a majority of the producing and writing talent spending years on TNG. You would think they would've had a working formula by then.
Sirtis at times is nothing more than a little gossip queen in regards to Trek. I suppose that is what her career has come down to. Unfortunately she gets stuff wrong way too often. Always has. And she has always been one to take shots (some subtle, some not) at DS9 or place blame at the feet of DS9 for something she thinks went wrong. She has been doing this since the early to mid 90s.
As a person who kept up with all things Trek during that time let me make it clear that TNG wasn't losing any of its budget to DS9. To make such a claim is absurd. TNG was king. It remained the first priority of Paramount and Rick Berman. They weren't about to cut the budget in its final season and hand the extra dough over to DS9. DS9 already had a big enough budget of its own. The seventh season of TNG aired at the same time DS9's second season aired. What would be the point of increasing DS9's budget? TPTB didn't take any money away from TNG a year earlier when DS9's first season and TNG's sixth season co-existed on the airwaves. Why all of a sudden would TPTB divert funds from TNG during the following season, particularly considering they wanted TNG to go out with a bang? It wasn't as if DS9 was having any ratings problems back then. Its first season ratings were probably its strongest. And it wasn't as if DS9 went through a major shakeup between season #1 and season #2.
Here are the more plausible reasons for what affected season seven of TNG. Rick Berman had to handle the final season of TNG, keep close tabs on season two of DS9, take care of pre-production and oversee the script of the upcoming Star Trek movie and spend a lot of time and effort preparing for the launch of Star Trek: Voyager. Jeri Taylor had all but turned her entire attention to Star Trek: Voyager at this time, including creating the Maquis storyline on TNG which she knew would be carried over to VOY as a major storyline. Ron Moore and Brannon Braga had the duty of not just writing and taking on extra duties as producers for TNG, but they also had to devote at least half of their time developing the outlines for a script for the TNG film and then typing up that script. And about halfway into the production of that final season the writers and producers (such as Moore, Braga, Rene Echevarria, etc.) had to decide whether they were going to a)move on to VOY b)move on to DS9 or c)leave Trek altogether. So in other words there were a lot of distractions and no one was allowed to concentrate strictly on TNG. Those distractions grew further with the countless media requests for interviews regarding the final season of TNG and the upcoming TNG motion picture. Plus years later guys like More and Echevarria would admit that they had all but ran out of stories to tell for the TNG TV series and needed a fresh start. What this means is that there was an issue regarding a lack motivation, inspiration and creativity that had nothing to do with a lack of money or funds.
Now perhaps for Sirtis that is not as thrilling a story to tell at a convention as "DS9 stole our money", but I would bet my house that is far closer to the truth than anything Sirtis suggested. Again, she has never gotten her information right so I don't expect her to do so now. I guess she feels maybe there is a willing audience out there who are eager for her to make DS9 out to be SGU to TNG's SGA. By that I mean she is making the case that TNG's demise was the result of DS9 coming on the air. Nonsense. TNG and DS9 existed for two years in which they were on the air at the same time. The ratings were great. TPTB didn't pull TNF for DS9. Once TNG was over though VOY would fill in for it and for five seasons DS9 and VOY co-existed. That's seven straight years in which Paramount produced two Trek shows simultaneously. TPTB could have kept TNG going for five or so years if that was what they wanted; the cost would have not been a problem. If any show can therefore be blamed for TNG going off the air it is VOY because technically it actually replaced TNG. I don't think Paramount was ever going to do a CSI by having three Trek shows on at once. Of course I'm not blaming VOY for TNG's end. TNG wasn't going beyond 7 seasons with that cast regardless. But I am saying if Sirtis wants to stick by her theory that the addition of a new Trek show meant the demise of TNG on TV, then logically the show that would have to take the blame for that is the show that ended up replacing TNG on the air. And that show was VOY, not DS9.
Also Sirtis and Frakes were the two cast members reportedly most upset about the ending of TNG. They did not want the show to end. They wanted the show to go on. Those two would have probably done TNG for another seven years if they had the chance. Honestly TNG could have probably gone on seven more years in some form, even with TNG movies being made. Just look at the X-Files. The first X-Files film hit theaters when the show was still on the air and still at its peak in the ratings. Unfortunately for Sirtis and Frakes the two cast members who were the most eager to see TNG as a show come to an end were Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner. These two were considered the best actors on the show as well as the biggest stars. They had the biggest pull and they also were considered to have the best prospects post-TNG. They were more than happy to do the movies, but wanted no more part of the daily grind of a TV series. Frakes and Sirtis wanted the show to continue perhaps because they could see the writing on the wall in that the TNG movies would marginalize all characters outside of Picard and Data. To be blunt I think Sirtis was self-aware enough to realize that TNG would be the best gig she ever had and unlike some of her fellow cast members she did not have any directorial experience to fall back on. But Paramount and TPTB had a choice to make: end TNG and simply make movies for the next decade or make TNG movies while keeping a Stewart-less and Spiner-less TNG on the air at the same time. They went for option #1.
As for DS9 all those remaining TNG "idea men" did not jump to DS9 until season #3 (not including of course those that went to VOY instead). So their departure had nothing to do with any drop in quality of TNG's final season because they didn't move on until AFTER TNG wrapped up its last episode. That being said I nonetheless love the second season of DS9 and would put it up with some of the best seasons of TNG in general. If anyting it was DS9's first season which was subpar. There was no "working formula" for it to go by because DS9 was obviously going in another direction than the Trek shows that came before it. It wasn't until it fully embraced that concept that it started to go on a great roll of putting out one great season after another.

WAXHAW, N.C. -- A 14-year-old Union County high school student died late Tuesday afternoon after a car driven by his brother crashed into another vehicle, authorities say.
The N.C. Highway Patrol says Paulo Pappa died on route to Presbyterian Hospital, shortly after the wreck on New Town Road near Waxhaw-Indian Trail Road. Paulo's brother, Alexander, 17, was the driver.
Alexander was injured and hospitalized at Carolinas Medical Center. He was released late Tuesday night.
A woman driving the other vehicle, an SUV, was not seriously hurt, troopers say.
According to authorities, the wreck happened when Alexander Pappa apparently lost control of his car and slid into an oncoming vehicle. Troopers say roads were wet at the time, with rain falling. According to the collision report, troopers did not believe Alexander was speeding.
Paulo Pappa was a freshman at Cuthbertson High, a Waxhaw school which opened two years ago. The school's spirit rock was painted by fellow students late Tuesday with the message, Gone, Never Forgotten.
Students organized a memorial service before classes began Wednesday morning for Paulo, who despite only being a freshman, had earned first-chair status as flutist in the school's concert band. He also was a member of the school's marching ban, gave flute lessons, and acted in school plays.
Students at Cuthbertson High also wore black today, and they set up a Facebook page in memory of Paulo.
It's so hard to hold back the tears, especially when you knew him, one girl wrote on the page.

Congratulations to Benchmark Title's very own Ally Macatee for scoring highest in her class at this year's TLTA Land Title School! We are so proud of her and lucky to have her on the Benchmark team!
CEO Mike Barnett sent his First Quarter Report via email on April 10, 2012:
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend. This year is off to a great start! As a whole, the Benchmark companies made $2,208,537 in the first quarter of 2012.
AMC Correspondent led the way with an outstanding quarter. AMC Correspondent made almost 2 million ($1,910,562) for the first quarter! I am very proud of the great work they have been doing and continue to do.
AMC Retail had a great March, and posted a profit of $114,175 for the quarter. Congratulations to Kelly Malatesta who was just recognized by the Scotsman Guide as one of the "Top Originators in 2011" nationwide. She was ranked #74 for Top Dollar Volume and #39 for Most Loans Closed. We are so proud to have Kelly as part of our team!
Benchmark Bank made $383,745 for the quarter. In March, Bauer Financial – an independent rating firm – gave Benchmark Bank a "Superior" 5-star rating for the 4th quarter in a row. To quote Bauer Financial: "A 5-star rating denotes that Benchmark Bank is one of the best in the nation in terms of its overall financial performance." It is a great honor to be called one of the strongest banks in the US.
Although the title company suffered losses in January and February, Benchmark Title ended the quarter on a positive note making $90,000 in March. The second quarter has great potential with many deals currently in the pipeline. We are excited that Catherine Valentino joined our team in March and will lead the residential marketing effort in Plano/Frisco.
I took two trips recently – one to Monroe to watch Act of Valor with our group there and to recognize the employees who've been with us 5 years or longer – and one to Augusta to see our new mortgage office and catch a little bit of the Masters as well. It was great to visit with our people who I don't get to see often enough.
Overall 2012 is off to a great start, and I look forward to an Awesome year for our group. Thanks for all you do and keep up the great work!

View the April Issue
By David Lass
In the past the aquarium hobby / industry was not always that eager to embrace new technologies from other industries. Today the situation is very different, and aquariums are rapidly coming into the age of the latest electronics and methods. In just the past year or so we are seeing a variety of new monitors and controllers that allow the aquarium hobbyist to monitor, and control, his or her aquarium from their smart phone; actually they can do these from anyplace where they can get on the Internet.
Being somewhat of a Luddite myself, I have not really kept up with these advances, but with some recent research I was called upon to do I came to appreciate what we can do nowadays. The top line monitors/controllers I looked at are very impressive. Not only can they monitor hundreds (even thousands) of points and parameters, but they can also control just about everything from the temperature and lighting to salinity and water level. One setup I saw at a good local fish store was monitoring a number of large marine/reef tanks for all of the standard parameters, as well as controlling the production of RO water, the addition of RO water if that was needed, or mixed saltwater if that was required. Perhaps the most important advantage of these new devices is that they serve, as one manufacturer put it, as an inexpensive insurance policy. The example he gave was that they have as an option that you can monitor for water on the floor, and if there is water the system sends a call to your smart phone alerting you. If the water level in the tank is also dropping, the device is "smart" enough to figure out that there is a problem, and it turns off all water feeding the tank. You can then turn on the camera over your tank, and see what is going on. Amazing.
The new high tech monitors and controllers are impressive, and they are being used by the high end hobbyists. The reef geeks are, of course, the first ones to adopt this technology, since (without being too much of a cynic) I think that these folks are always simply trying to see how much money they can spend on their hobby, and how quickly they can buy and use the latest toy. The new monitors/controllers do give the hobbyist the ability to keep better water conditions for their fish, but I have two concerns. First, I am concerned that these products are being sold all over the web, and the local fish store may not be able to compete on their sale. Second, there is this thought lurking in my head that I fear that hobbyists will spend most of their time flipping dials and switches and reading numbers off screens, and not watching their fish. All of the water parameters may be perfect, but knowing that does not seem as important as seeing that the new $50 wrasse you just bought is getting the snot kicked out of it by another fish.

I remember those days. The research supporting this was funded by the sugar industry, and championed by a Harvard professor named Fredrick Stare, who would write weekly columns in the newspaper about how people should eat lots of sugar because calories are good, and Americans needed more calories.
And even then millions of people were trying and failing at fad diets.
There is no way the majority of Americans are sticking to low-fat diets. American foods are riddled with PUFA fats, hydrogenated oils, deep-fried everything in soybean or canola oil, salad dressings almost all contain disgusting rancid oils, margarine, factory farm cheeses and dairy, etc. American restaurants smother every food they make in putrid oils then mask the flavor with salt and HFCs. Heck, if the majority of Americans actually did follow the food pyramid guidelines it would be an improvement if all whole foods were eaten.
Sugar is a supplement, just like salt. Some need or tolerate more than others, neither are necessary in dietary form, but in context, theyare legit and harmless supplements. Singling out sugar as the sole culprit in overeating or obesity isn't exactly accurate when you don't take the other variables into account. Sugar in coffee or sprinkled on fruit is not the problem anymore than adding salt to cucumbers is and pickling them. I think sugar gets a bad rap undeservingly when it's rarely consumed on its own without far worse ingredients.

It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. - Samuel Adams
"I think the basic anti-aging diet is also the best diet for prevention and treatment of diabetes, scleroderma, and the various "connective tissue diseases." This would emphasize high protein, low unsaturated fats, low iron, and high antioxidant consumption, with a moderate or low starch consumption.
In practice, this means that a major part of the diet should be milk, cheese, eggs, shellfish, fruits and coconut oil, with vitamin E and salt as the safest supplements."
- Ray Peat
I gave up sugar (and flour) 3 years ago- all sweeteners (artificial or otherwise). It was one of the best food decisions i ever made. It was hell for 3 weeks, after that- all of my cravings (for sugar and flour foods) were gone. I went cold turkey, and I think it is easier to do that than to slowly wean off of it.
Ever eat sugar straight up? Yuck. I can only handle a lick. Same with salt. I'll munch on a few large grains of it, but by the spoonful? Nope. Overkill. If fruit didn't have its flavor and texture, try eating isolated fructose (not HFCs)and eating it plain. Gross, right?
Sugar is a supplement and flavor enhancer. How much you use is up to you. I think it's time to start drawing some lines, though. When people say sugar addiction, they almost always mean the vessels that transport the sugar, which are likely the problem, not just sugar. Sugar mixed with other ingredients is a new food, e.g., chocolate bar, muffin, latte, etc.

I was thinking about that. Particularly in pickling/fermenting. There are recipes that require sugar as preservative. Not a large amount, like 3 tbsp per 3L jar of marinated tomatoes. Is this minuscule but necessary bit of sugar that bad?

The thing is, if you eliminate the baked goods, sweetened beverages, ice cream and candy, and processed sweets like jelly beans, what sugar is there left to eat? (I don't count fruit here).
Inversely, if you eliminate sugar (not including fruits and sweet potatoes), what good quality foods are you eliminating? If I eliminate a 400 calorie latte with limited nutritional benefit, I can either reduce my calories and lose weight or free up space in my diet for healthier calories, like more chicken on my salad.
I get to eat like 1500-1600 calories a day. I absolutely don't think a 200 calorie sugary snack every day would be an issue, except those calories don't satisfy me, they make me eat more, and they cut into the nutritious calories I can have. FWIW, I also don't believe in eating spoons of fat for the same reason.
Check out my blog. Hope to share lots of great recipes and ideas!

Small size for gestational age and the risk for infant mortality in the subsequent pregnancy. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 22858049 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
PURPOSE: To examine the association between small for gestational age (SGA) in the first pregnancy and risk for infant mortality in the second pregnancy. METHODS: This is a population-based, retrospective cohort study in which we used the Missouri maternally linked cohort dataset for 1978-2005. Analyses were restricted to women who had two singleton pregnancies during the study period. The exposure was SGA in the first pregnancy, whereas the primary outcome was infant mortality in the second pregnancy. Kaplan-Meier Estimate and Cox proportional hazard regression were conducted. RESULTS: Infant mortality was significantly greater among mothers with previous SGA (P < .01). A persistent association of previous SGA with subsequent infant mortality was observed (adjusted hazard ratio [AHR] 1.35, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.24-1.48). Race-specific data illustrated that black women with a previous SGA birth were 40% more likely to experience infant mortality (AHR 1.40, 95% CI 1.21-1.63) than their counterparts without a history of SGA, but white women with a previous SGA had an increased risk of 31% (AHR 1.31, 95% CI 1.17-1.46). CONCLUSIONS: Women with previous SGA bear increased risks for subsequent infant mortality, which was greater among black mothers. Hence, SGA plays an important role in the black-white disparity in infant mortality. Women's previous childbearing experiences could serve as important criterion in determining appropriate interconception strategies to improve infant health and survival. |

Thomas Hart Benton's paintings are not for the sophisticated monied elitists who collect abstract and impressionist paintings then keep them away from people like you and me.
His paintings belong to the everyday people who must struggle and work for their families and for the freedom of being an American citizen.
His paintings are priceless!!!

More excellent performances from the Red Bull Racing this weekend saw German Sebastian Vettel take the Formula 1™ Drivers' Championship at the 2010 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Vettel's victory came after a successful season that has seen him on the podium 10 times, with five race wins, making him Formula 1's youngest ever champion at 23. Alonso went into the race top of the championship standings, ahead of Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and his teammate Mark Webber.
Alonso started well, but a risky early tyre change on the 15th lap meant Vettel was able to capitalize, leaving Alonso...

The current international smartphone market is dominated by Android, iPhone and Blackberry. At the last count Windows only had a 5% share of the smartphone market worldwide*.

Released: Feb 01st, 1986
Running Time: 90
Director: Jerry Ross
Company: Playtime Video
Jessica Wylde, Joey Silvera, Tamara Longley, Kristarrah Barrington, Mike Horner
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
I don't know; it's just something about the plot that gives me pause. I mean, if I were a male student at a spy school run by Tamara Longley, and I were given a password and told that I must not reveal it, no matter what the female students did to get it out of me, and that the punishment for copping out would be that I'd have to repeat the course, I don't think I'd worry too much about keeping my word secret.
And if I were a female student assigned to get that password at any cost, and the prize for success was a session of my own with the lovely Ms. Longley, I'd certainly do my utmost to get that word.
So who cares about the plot? The sex is terrific! Joey Silvera is the first to enjoy the pleasures of being a spy, and his blonde partner certainly does her best. Talk about hot! Her well-padded breasts lightly grazing his chest, as she intones, "Give me the word . . . the word." It's enough to raise your blood pressure.
But not all the ladies are good spies. Jessica Wylde has the double problem of being unable to lure the male student of her choice into her bedroom, and of having Tamara suspect that she's a double agent. But when she finally does get into the action, you won't be disappointed. Her waist-length hair adds an eroticism seldom seen in shot-on-video productions.
It's too bad we have to wait until the end to really see Tamara in action (she has one early girl/girl scene with Kristara Barrington) but when she struts her stuff, you'll see why she's considered one of the hottest actresses in adult cinema today. And speaking of Kristara, she's one hot cookie too . . . but, I'm sorry to say, outshined by just about everybody else. Me, I want to see more of Jessica Wylde's hair.

Big Ear receives 'Wow! Signal,' August 15, 1977
The telescope was located at Ohio Wesleyan University's Perkins Observatory, in Delaware, Ohio, and was being operated as a part of a SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) project. It was fixed and used the Earth's rotation to scan the sky. As such, the Big Ear could observe any given point for just 72 seconds.
The signal was a strong narrowband radio signal detected by university professor Jerry R Ehman. It lasted for the full 72 seconds and could not be detected again.
Ehman was reportedly so amazed at how closely the signal matched the expected signature of an interstellar signal in the antenna used that he circled the signal on the computer printout and wrote the comment "Wow!" on its side. (See image scan of the printout) The signal then became known as the "Wow! Signal."
Indeed, the Wow! Signal did closely resemble what researchers expected an extraterrestrial signal would be. Its narrowband matched the telescope's antenna pattern, which indicated that it was at least at a lunar distance and not from a nearer object as such a signal would have a wider pattern.
Its frequency was near the 1420 MHz hydrogen line, where radio transmissions are prohibited.
The signal's strength was 30 standard deviations above the mean background noise, showing that the transmitter used a large amount on energy.
Also, the 72-second-long signal, being studied by the fixed telescope, gradually peaked for the first 36 seconds until the signal reached the center of Big Ear's observation window and then a gradually decreased. As such, both the length of the signal and the bell shape of the intensity graph were considered to correspond with a possible extraterrestrial origin.
Whether the signal was extraterrestrial in nature or not is debatable. Ehman, himself, has stated doubts. But the Wow! Signal did stir much media coverage at its finding and why the signal could not be located again is still pondered today as a great riddle of science.

Our third visit here, for an overnight. This facility is quite a way off I-84, but the drive is very manageable, with only the short trek on the road to the campground entrance being rather narrow. A very well run, clean, and attractive campground. It was a weekday in the off-season, so there were no activities scheduled, but there are many things on site to entertain the entire family. Our site was a long, level back-in, that was nicely situated so as to make the neighbors seem far away. W/S/E/C were excellent, as was the WiFi. We will stay here again. - demoon
Avoid this park if possible. Cable was non existent as was WiFi as well. The unit next to us was vacant but had the outside speakers blaring for three days. We were advised it would be moved each day but three days later they moved it. Typical close to an attraction park. Shame on KOA for considering this one of there's. Our complaints fell on deaf ears. We were here in two units. We would have been better served in a rest area. This is the first negative review we have issued since we are very tolerant people. The owners could care less for our problems. - Hotairballoonist
For a KOA, it was nice. Lots to do for the kids but also seemed like a "local" campsite for "locals" hence, loud music at night and groups of people together. The sites were very close and hard to get into them. It is a bit far from any major attractions but being New York City, it was fine. I did not like having to pay a mandatory $5.00 per day activity fee. For what? That should be in the cost, not extra. That was a negative for this campsite. Check-in was very chaotic as too many people checking in = busy campsite. Overall, we would probably stay here again since it was closest to NYC. We did tour Hyde Park and area around the Hudson Valley but like other reviewer said, there are A lot of small, windy country roads to get to the major highways to get anywhere. The closest train station to take into NYC is Beacon and that was still about 15-20 minutes away and you are about 90 minutes by train from New York City. Hope this helps. - Karen Hamm

Jefferson Theatre
4768 N. Milwaukee Avenue,

This former nickelodeon is still quite prominent on Milwaukee Avenue, recently repainted in maroon and cream to highlight the detail of its simple facade bearing its name. It is currently a cabinet shop.
Recent comments (view all 5 comments)
Opened in 1914 with a seating capacity of 294 it was re-named Progress Theatre in 1917 and closed in 1923.
I am writing an article on old movie houses in and around Jefferson Park, Chicago; if anyone has a photo of the Jefferson Nickelodeon or any idea where I can find one please contact me.
The American Contractor Building Permit index indicates that it was started in 1912. Architect was E.M. Newman.
I've heard that it's possible that the Lero building adjoining the Jefferson directly to the south (seen here on the left) was actually the movie theatre. Is that possible? Looking at the inside of the Lero, it seems possible that the space was originally a large, single-story space, such as would be used as a theatre. And the seating capacity seems to imply a larger area than the inside of the Jefferson. Anyone have any input on this?

Released: Jan 01st, 2002
Running Time: 110
Director: Alex Ladd
Company: Puritan Video
Violet Blue, Jay Ashley, Zana, Phoenix Ray, Gauge, Nikita Denise, Johnny Slovak, Cheyne Collins, Joel Lawrence, Pat Myne
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Relatively fresh talent should move this tape off the shelves.
It's a day in the outdoors with fairly strokable scenes with a mostly- cheerleader bent, from the pornographers of the ironically-named Puritan.
Though the scenes are serviceable, but most are plagued by overexposure from being shot in, what looks like, the noontime blaze. However, standout scenes include enthusiastic, and strokable sex, as usual, from Violet Blue, who plays a pom-pom girl lost in the wilds of the San Fernando Valley, only to stumble upon cowboy Jay Ashley camping out in a tent; with sex on a sleeping back, it's definitely roughin' it. There's also lucky stiff Johnny Slovak stuffing Phoenix Ray once he gets her out of her school spirit going for a bout of poolside sex.

This is an example of the sort of data integration that is going to sit behind the next generation of e-learning (and now I'm talking about what comes after all the MOOC hype here). This article describes a website using CSS and JSON to set up a header than changes based on the weather where you're located. It reads your location, connects with a weather service to get the current weather, then sets up the display with apprpriate images. The article could be a bit clearer - it points the reader to Yahoo's RSS API from 2006, but the code actually uses the REST-JSON api documented in this other article. Of course, weather information is just the tip of the iceberg. Imagine, for example, an online course on economics that changes as the economic data changes!
